Lyrics

Hello boys, I've been away
 On a bit of a holiday
 To the land where the rivers freely flow
 And the cattle roam on the wild callagh
 Walking home three parts pissed
 I stumbled and fell in the morning mist
 I fell and rolled in the hungry grass
 That tells the tale of a terrible past
 I screamed and ran and dreamt I fell
 Down in the depths of a freezing hell
 With a man coming up with the bugs inside
 Bouncing tooth in a skull that died
 We laughed to old times and the bad old days
 Gonna wrap me up and takin' me away
 Four million people starved to death
 Could smell the curse on their dying breath
 Where no one ever wants to go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 To hell, which is circular all around
 Down in the belly of the big cold ground
 The moving shadows were everywhere
 The very trees seemed to bend and stare
 I remembered the dunes on a Sligo shore
 Where I screamed and ran 'til I could run no more
 Over the fields and across the moor
 I ran in the house and slammed the door
 Crash, what the hell's that over there
 A putrefying corpse sitting in that chair
 Where no one ever wants to go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 ♪
 Been drunk as a skunk since I've been home
 From bar to bar, like a ghost I roamed
 I can't forget those things I saw
 Been down with the devil in the Dalling Road
 One place I don't want to go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
 Down in the ground where the dead men go
